Abstract
A spreader unit for a de-icing substance to clear a road or pedestrian surface, comprises a hopper containing the de-icing substance, a spreader device that receives the de-icing substance from the hopper spreading the latter on the road or pedestrian surface, a carrying device to convey the de-icing substance of the hopper to the spreader device, a rechargeable battery to power the carrying device and an electric mechanical converter for charging the rechargeable battery transforming mechanical power.
Claims18
A spreader unit for a de-icing material for cleaning a road or pedestrian surface, comprising:
- a hopper configured to contain the de-icing material;
- a spreader device configured to receive the de-icing material from said hopper and spread the de-icing material on the road or pedestrian surface;
- a carrying device configured to convey the de-icing material from said hopper to said spreader device;
- at least one rechargeable battery configured to supply electric power to said carrying device;
- an electric mechanical converter configured to charge said rechargeable battery by an inputted mechanical power;
- and
- a friction wheel configured to transfer the inputted mechanical power to the electric mechanical converter, wherein said friction wheel is movable between a first position and a second position, and wherein in said first position said friction wheel comes into direct contact with the road or pedestrian surface.
